So another newcomer here.

My toolset probably something like this:

• Cocos 2d JS (Cocos IDE)
• Gimp / Inkscape
• Tiled?
• Freesound.org…

Because these tools were pretty much unknown to me, I made my self a small starter kit to begin with:

you can find the skeleton running in here:
http://koti.kapsi.fi/~anssipe/CocosJSGame
and you can get the full project here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13413488/CocosJSGame.zip

This project is basically a port of this great tutorial-series to JS:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/15230/how-to-make-a-platform-game-like-super-mario-brothers-part-1

Use it if you want.

And yes, I was thinking of making a platformer game… (though this may still change depending on the theme 😀

Chreers,
